An exhibition about bells and their making. Bronze, electrical cables, wood and bolts. Forged iron and raised brass are all materials through which these makers have formed different types of bells. From traditionally cast bells to speaker-oriented amplifiers we add to the story of what a bell can be. As our relationship to bells is changing, maybe so are the bells themselves?
A bell is a vessel that has a voice. This is what Maya Stengårds Jonsson defined for herself, in her bachelor work in 2024 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Antwerp, Belgium.
“I discovered that a bell is a vessel that, through its walls of certain materials, makes a sound when something activates it. The clapper might hang inside but it can also be other sorts of activation from outer elements – that makes the bell sing. The vessel has a voice.”
Eleven artists and their works in this exhibition explore contemporary bells and the making of them. Some present physical bells, while others approach the subject through contemplative works. These include tracings from the Stadswaag Bell (E. Schupp, 2026), in the absence of the actual bell itself, and a video work by L. Woloshyn (2024) illustrating the bodily effects of low frequencies.
This odd group of bells comes together as a new type of bell play – a carillon. It can be activated by anyone present at the show – but will also be played in performance by Malte Dag Rödström on the opening night of the 2nd of October. Together with costumes made by Molly Raak, he will tell his story of what bells can be.
Maya Stengårds Jonsson was invited by Leona Cauklija, and in turn invited the other artists to take part. Contact: leona@candyland.se
Candyland’s exhibition programme is based on voluntary work but is also supported by the City of Stockholm and the Swedish Arts Council.
